THE WISDOM OF APOSTOLIC FOUNDATION

See let us call a spade, a spade ! it is very possible to gather all types and kinds of building materials together and yet we do not have a building. Just because we have believers gathered together does not mean we have a church yet. A true church has a candle stick/blue print/patterns. Nobody could build anything until Moses received the blueprint of the tabernacle .These days, churches are being built on individual gifts/money/fame and popularity of ministers instead of Jesus, the blue Print. An evangelist can help gather block/living stones or material for building, a pastor may be good store keeper or welfare officer of the materials, these do not yet turns out that we have a church in the proper sense of the Bible. There must be an architectural plan/blue print before a building is laid. This is the reason many believers today do not have a form of Christlikeness or Godliness. This blue print or Church plan must be strategic . When you look at the seven churches of Asia, none of them had the same form of divine ,revelation of Christ. each of them was designed by Christ to impact their City in a unique way, to have a dominion/breakthrough over the principality of the city. There is a dimension of Christ that must be unveil and the saint must be built and structured to become the unveiled revelation of Christ to their city by which they will become Light and take over the city, as it is written, i and the children you have given me, we are for signs and wonders. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The apostles by the arrangement of God has been appointed, first in the task of building the Church/temple not because of superiority complex but of the first importance in the building of the temple/church. he is the architect of the God, the wise master builder, whose is giving the task to produce the blue print and lay down with the aid of the prophets Jesus, the foundation of the temple, nobody can lay this like the apostle, it is his job and his calling, his other colleague, must know that and respect that. He is not a super star, but he is just first among is equals because of his role. his task is first, if we are going to have the proper church. how do you expect a teacher to lay his blocks upon blocks on a mere ground,a Sandy sand, we are merely looking for trouble/disaster in the days of storm. This is the reason why a lot of churches are been closed down by scandals and defectiveness in the character of the leaders/leadership. We shall be unable to grow Christlike characters if our kingdom living is not laid by apostles as God has specified. The Apostles do not only build foundations for our kingdom living but also for kingdom marriages . The result of a lot of broken marriages and ministries are the direct result of our disobedience to God's order and allowing apostle's to help us lay Godly Foundation for our Christlike lives. We have sinned enough, it is time we seek for godly apostle's to help us. our pride has kept us away from their Godly counsel .God is preparing us to receive his Apostles and prophets. let the true prophets learn to walk with the true apostles. Apostles and prophets are one pair laboring to lay Godly foundation for the building of the temple/Church. Thanks !
